Kyrylo Bol’shakov, coach Dnipro:

“In the first part of the encounter we tried to neutralize our opponent’s tall players’ game as they usually score most of their points. We started our game with our new players Matvyeyeva and Komarnyak but not everything worked out well. When we came back to our team’s previous composition our game became much better. We had certain problems due to the absence of injured Iuliia Iakhina.”

Eli Rabi, coach Ramla:

“We started our game pretty well and had to win this match as we were in front.  But after the home team applied some pressing, the game as well as our shots started to go wrong.”
